SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 789,560, dated May 9,1905.

Application filed May 23,1904. Serial No, 209,243.

To fr/Z/ 71171/0721/ 717/14/ con/cern.'

Be it known that I, lmumonu OLsnN, a citi zen of the United States, anda resident of Manistce, in the county of Manistee and State o't'Michigan, have invented a new and lmproved Saw Gage and Jointer, ofwhich the following' is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in combined saw cleaner-toothgages and topjointcrs, an object beingl to provide a device ol thischaracter of novel and simple construction, readily adjustable, andeasily handled.

ll will describe a saw gage and jointer elnbodying my invention and thenpoint out the novel features in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying' drawings, forming a part ofthis specilication, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of' a saw gage and jointer embodying myinvention. Fig. 2 is an inner side view thereof'. Fig. 3 is a seetion onthe line 3 3 of' Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a scctiou on the line a et o1 Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings, 5 designates the inner face-plate, havinginwardly-extendedflanges 6 at its upper edge, these flanges bcing spacedapart to permit the entrance of a lile. Adjustable on the outer surfaceof the Al"ace-plate is a gage-plate 7, having' an inwardly-extendedflange 8 projected into the space between the flanges 6 and having aslot 9 to receive the cleaner-teeth. The gage-plate is held inadjustable connection with the laceplate by means of' a set-screw 10,which passes through a vertical slot 11 and engages in a tapped hole .inthe gage-plate. At its opposite vertical edges the gage-plate slidesagainst outwardl,veXteuded ribs 12 on the Yface-plate, and, as hereshown, the outer side ofl the gageplate is provided with a block orbracket 13, on which a top-jointer file 1li is designed to be placed,and the lilc is held in position by means of' a set-screw 15 engaging atapped hole in a lug 1G on the gage-plate. lt will be noted that at theinner side the plate 5 is provided with vertical ribs 17, the outersurfaces of which are practically on a plane with the head ol'I theset-screw V1 0, and therefore the device is prevented from rockingmotion on a saw-blade, as would be the case were the blade to engageagainst the screw without the said supports or ribs. The euterside ofthe gageplate below the block 1l, is provided with upper and loweroutwardly-extcnded flanges 18 19, throl'lgh openings in whichzu'ljustingscrews 2O pass. These screws have nuts 21 at the upper end,which engage against the upper su rface of the flange 18, and theirlower heads 22 are provided with slots to receive a screwsdriver. '.lhethreaded portions of the screws engage tapped holes in lugs 23, extendedoutward fronl the f`ace-platc 5 through vertical slots 24, formed in thegage-plate. By manipulating the screws 2() it is obvious that thegage-plate may be adjusted to bring its flange 18 to any desiredposition below the flanges 6.

In operating upon the cleaner-teeth the Vface-plate is to be placedagainst the saw and the flanges 6 engage on the top of' the teeth, withthe cleaner-tooth extended through the opening 9. After lilingonecleaner-tooth it is obvious that thc device may be readily removed tothe next cleaner-tooth. In topjointing, the flanges 1S and 19 are to beplaced against the blade of thc saw and the lile passed over the topsofl the teeth, as clearlyindicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1.

Having thus descri bed my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent 1. ln a device for the purpose specified, thecombination of a face-plate, a gageplatc, u pper and loweroutwardly-extended flanges on the gage-plate provided with openings, thesaid gage plate having slots between the flanges, tapped lugs extendedfrom the faceplate through said slots, adjusting-screws engagingin saidlugs and passing loosely through the openings in the flanges, the saidscrews having' heads for engaging with the lower flange, and nuts on thescrews for engaging with the upper flange.

2. 1n a device for the purpose specified, the

combination of a fece-plete, a gage-plate, npper and lowerontwerdly-extended ztnges on the gage-plate, the said gage-platehavingslots between the ztnges, tapped lugs extended from the face-pletethrough sind slots, and adjusting-screws engaging in sind lugs and hmT-ing rotary connection with said flanges.

In testimony whereo` I have signed lny name l to this specification inthe presence of two subscrbing witnesses. v
